In this episode, we look at the life - a legendary voyage - of Irish monk Saint Brendan of Clonfert (aka Brendan the Navigator, Brendan the Voyager, and Brendan the Bold). We dive into the text of Brendan's voyage to paradise - and investigate what - if any of it - has a place in the real world. Could he have - as some people claim - have reach North America a thousand years before Columbus?
